Going Through a Storm

I was taught in church a while back that we are either in a storm, coming out of one, or about to enter one. I truly believe this statement! I really do. I find myself telling quite a few people that they are just going through a storm but it won’t last for long.

My daytime job consists of helping others in a capacity that I never imagined. The things that I hear from others and the situations that they are experiencing or have experienced just blows my mind sometimes. There are times when I am shedding tears with these individuals! When you hear of another person’s situation, it can make you think, ‘Hell, my situation ain’t that bad’. I know I have said that to myself on several occasions. I have to be thankful for my issues and whether you want to admit it or not, we all have them! We need to truly humble ourselves and realize there are some things that we are not exempt from.

If you are one who is going through a storm right now and it’s got you down, hold your head up and get yourself together. It is going to be okay! Are sitting around beating yourself up about something that you have gotten yourself into? What steps are you taking to get through? Are you utilizing your resources? Are you hitting those up who said that you can call them for anything? Put that pride to the side and stop hiding behind shame. That’s all I’ve got for this week folks
